Liquor manufactured
in India is categorized as beer, country liquor and Indian Made
Foreign Liquor (IMFL). IMFL production includes wines, whisky,
rum, vodka, gin and brandy. Draught beer has been recently introduced
and has done well in the places in which it has been introduced.
Canned beer is an even more recently introduced new beverage.
The importation of potable alcohol is subject to government
licensing. Alcoholic drinks carry a very heavy tax burden which
is itself a major source of revenue for state governments. It
is only very recently that wine has begun to be produced on
a significant scale in India. Its production takes place in
both the organised and the household sectors. Sparkling wine
is also manufactured in India. However, this is intended for
the export market and the volumes involved are small.
